From north of our city to back yards, summertime is a great time for
photography.

Hummer...

the original ones

Taking Flight

Almost in flight

Excellent Fisherman

Lurking black crowned

Cattle Egret

Kite...

....and eating (aka debugging the neighborhood!)

So why an AWACs plane in the background. Our metropolis is the proud
location of the Air Force's Airborne Warning and Control System (AWACS)
and as we were photographing the Kites flying around, they had company in the
air -so these planes were always in the background of the Kites & hummers.
